During a golf tournament in Virginia, American golfer Reggie Weston meets Russell Lee, the British former world champion in the sport. The two men hit it off when Russell takes Reggie under his wing, teaching him the tricks of the game. As their friendship deepens, Reggie finds himself falling in love with the Englishman, though he knows Russell doesn’t feel the same. He’s painfully aware of the fact that Russell isn’t gay. But there’s more to Russell than meets the eye. He’s a troubled soul, plagued by monsters in his head telling him who he should be. He’s spent most of his life hiding his sexuality from the world so he won’t disappoint his homophobic mother. Is seven days enough time for Russell to break through the years of hurt and accept the new direction fate has in store for him and Reggie?

Seven Days

Once he was a couple feet from room C101, he nervously bit the inside of his cheeks and creased his white cap.


Russell was there, behind that white-painted wood. In a few moments, Reggie would knock, trembling, on that door, before it opened to the man he loved. He had a hundred things to tell Russell, a thousand things to ask. And many of these were prohibited.


He shook his head, pushing those silly thoughts out of his mind. Then he headed to the door, hand raised, ready to knock, but it opened before his knuckles could touch the enamel wood.


Danielle, in all her statuesque beauty. Her long and shining blonde hair, her sparkling blue eyes, her tanned skin, her nails perfectly lacquered in red, her expensive perfume, her designer suit…


She was stunning. It wasn’t hard to see why Russell loved her.


Discomfort overwhelmed him. He bent his head and, in doing so, noticed something else. Danielle’s right hand was clutching a pink suitcase.
